Aspiring rapper faces sex-trafficking charges over girl, 14

A Houston man was indicted Thursday for allegedly forcing a teenage girl into sex trafficking.

Jeremy Jacobi Scott, 28, picked up a 14-year-old girl at a school bus stop between February and March 2011 and drove her around town, giving her marijuana and taking her to his music studio to gain her trust, officials said. He recorded rap music under the name “J Moe” at the studio, including lyrics that glorified “prostitution and pimping,” according to a statement released by the United States Attorney’s Office.

Scott allegedly had sex with the young girl, photographed her and used those photos to advertise for her services on a website that advertised prostitution services, authorities said.

If convicted, Scott faces up to life in prison as well as a possible $250,000 fine.

Scott will also face life on supervised release and would be required to register as a sex offender.
